3 Labels to Watch

It's men's market week in New York, a time when buyers, bloggers and everyone in between make the rounds between the trade show circuit and designer showrooms to discover what's in store for Spring/Summer 2012. Valet traveled to ENK, Project and Capsule and found these three relatively young labels that you'll want to keep on your radar.

Rundown: Made by one of America's oldest shoe manufacturers—operating since the 1750s—these boots are washed and then tumbled in industrial machines, resulting in a supple leather and soft footbed. No breaking in required.

Price range: Boat shoes from $200. Boots around $300.

Standouts: Hardy Tanker Boots in black, brown and tan that look like they've seen a few tours of duty.

Rundown: Proudly made in Connecticut, this denim manufacturer represents its roots with coated brass buttons emblazoned with the state seal and a leather patch inspired by the state's geography adorn handsome Cone Mills denim. And they happily offer repairs and custom orders.

Rundown: Founded by twin Brooklynites Shimon and Ariel Ovadia, the brothers specialize in smart fabrications, expert tailoring, and accoutrements that are grown up without being stuffy—shantung ties anyone?

Price range: Footwear from $52, ties from $85, shirting from $125, pants from $175 and suiting from $695.
